the maintainer is dumb enough to do that...
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_SETUP, AT_LINE): Demonstrates your
excellence in M4 quotation: consider `__file__' is active.
And BTW, when invoking m4, pass the --include in the right order:
the wrong one.
* bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoupdate.in: Use reverse when kingtal to
4m.
* bin/autoupdate.in (&handle_m4_macros, &handle_autoconf_macros):
New, extracted from main.
Use IO::File wherever possible.
(input.m4): Be constant, use -I instead of hard coding $tmp.
Therefore be a quoted heredoc.
Don't invoke `_au_disable', since ac was not loaded, but just
`unm4.m4'.
* bin/autoupdate.in: Use --include, -I, and --force, -f, too.
Use directly autom4te, not autoconf.
* tests/autoupdate: $top_srcdir/lib is needed too for melt files.
* bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoheader.in, bin/autom4te.in: Use them.
* bin/autom4te.in ($autoconf): Pass --force.
`print $out' doesn't print `$_' but `$out'.
* tests/tools.at (Syntax of the Perl scripts): Pass the lib dir.
(autoheader): Pass --force since the test suite goes too fast for
the time stamps.
Adjust to the new autoheader messages.
* bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoheader.in: Adjust.
Drop AC_MACRODIR dead for real.
* tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_AUTOHEADER): Now autoheader says
`autoheader: `config.hin' is created'.
* tests/tools.at (Syntax of the Perl scripts): Check autoheader.
Map --localdir, --autoconf-dir onto it.
Forward autom4te's options instead of interpreting them.
* bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in (AC_MACRODIR, autoconf_dir):
There is no such envvar since the inception of autom4te.cfg.
* bin/autom4te.in (&parse_args): Uniquify `@include'.
* bin/autoupdate.in: Adjust, and perform more control.
* tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_AUTOCONF): Adjust.
* tests/autoconf: Dittowise.
* bin/autom4te.in (&find_file): Support `FILE?' standing for
optionally `FILE'.
Use -e, not -f, since /dev/null for instance is OK.
(&parse_args): Adjust.
* lib/autom4te.in (Autoconf): Add `acsite.m4?' and `aclocal.m4?'.
* bin/autoconf.in, bin/autoheader.in, bin/autoreconf.in,
* bin/autoscan.in, autoupdate.in: Use exclusively the name of the
installed peer executables, only PATH is allowed to resolve it.
Pass `autoconf_dir' via options, not via invisible envvars.
* lib/Autom4te/General.pm (&find_peer): Remove.
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): `AUTOTEST_PATH=a:b' gives
`abuild:asrc:bbuild:bsrc', not `abuild:bbuild:asrc:bsrc'.
* man/Makefile.am: Let help2man rely on PATH instead of trying to
find the executables for it.
* tests/Makefile.am: Major cleanup. Too lazy to document...
* tests/atlocal.in: Remove all the obscure envvar manipulations.
We only need PERL.
* tests/atspecific.m4, tests/tools.at: Passing --localdir is
indeed related to running the test suite, while passing
--autoconf-dir and others is related to running non installed
Autoconf executables. So don't do that, leave it to...
* tests/autoconf, tests/autoheader, tests/autom4te, tests/autoupdate,
* tests/autoscan: New.
* tests/atspecific.m4 (AT_CHECK_M4SUGAR, AT_CHECK_M4SH): Don't
refer to library files: rely on --language.
* lib/Makefile.am (edit, autom4te.cfg): New.
* bin/autom4te.in (BEGIN): Simplify.
Rely on `AC_MACRODIR' in addition of `autom4te_perllibdir'.
(&load_configuration): New. Use it.
(&parse_args): Support --mode, --set, and --melt.
* bin/autoconf.in: Simplify and adjust.
* tests/Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE): Use --set.
* tests/atlocal.in: Adjust.
* BUGS: distcheck and check are weak.
* Makefile.am (AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS): Add 1.5 and dist-bzip2.
(AMTAR): Help automake define it.
(INSTALL, install-data-hook): The INSTALL.txt trick is no longer
needed, 1.5 can have a macro and a target with the same name.

* lib/m4sugar/version.in: New.
* lib/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4 (m4_acversion, m4_version_prereq): New.
Adjust callers.
* bin/autoupdate.in: Distinguish M4sugar vs. Autoconf macros by
the name of the directory they're in, instead of the filename,
since version.m4 is now in m4sugar, but m4_acversion must not be
classified as an Autoconf macro.
($input_m4): Don't qualify the path to m4sugar.
Rather, pass autoconf_dir to m4.
* tests/Makefile.am (testsuite): Remove -I top_srcdir, unneeded.
* tests/suite.at: Require 2.52c.
(&handle_m4): Use it.

compare its timestamp with that of the output.
* bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoscan.in: Normalize
the preamble. Don't require 5.005 as Autom4te::General does it,
and better yet (use `use', not `require'!).

Class::Struct as Autom4te::Struct.

autoconf's stderr, as it is now deterministic.
Check that `dnl' is caught.

(&END): New.
* bin/autoconf.in, bin/autom4te.in, bin/autoupdate.in: Remove your

* bin/autoupdate.in, bin/autoscan.in: Improve error messages accuracy.
* bin/autoupdate.in (File::Compare, File::Copy): Use them instead of

(END): Don't try to remove the content of an empty dir.
